Thanx @ebr All the best!

My friends kids set it up, im just trying to get my own server with movies and tv shows. Where do i find one to add to my emby?

It is not easy to have a meaningful discussion when only indirect questions are allowed and even those receive only partial answers. Would providing a pcap file help you investigate this further?

Unfortunately, logging on the TV OS apps can be quite limited.

Hi @ebr Since you are not responding to my questions about the client logs and the required URL access list, I assume that the Emby client has neither logging nor a debug mode, and that your team does not have a complete list of required URLs and call-home endpoints. Also, if the customer is using Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet, there may be additional variables involved, as you are probably aware. Does this mean that the only way to dig deeper is for the customer has to perform a traffic capture?

Hi. The TV layouts currently only horizontally scroll those - unless you choose the "small tile" style. The next release of the server is going to give you more control over this in most apps, however.

Howdy yall! I have looked and searched but havent found anything useful, so posting is my last resort. I have latest Emby server on my Windows NUC, and i have tried with both Universal Android App aswell as latest Android TV app. Is there any way to make homescreen layout, the same as webb app? With two rows and not need to scroll right to see the last ones? I have tried changing sizes in setting, changing to verical and so on.. Example: The one with Dexter is Emby Universal Android, the other one Android TV app and the one with the OLED background is the webbapp. Is it possible to make either Universal Android and/or Android TV app to have the same layout as the webb app? (I hope all that made sense in what im looking for...) Thanx!

Hello i disovered that the Scan Library Files function for one item works only for its primary folder. It's weird because the item offers selection of all versions in the drop down list. Ex: For the Serie "Industry" I have 2 folders for 2 versions strutured like this (flat): Industry (2020)/ Industry (UHD) (2020)/ MediaInfo for the item "Industry" shows that the primary folder is Industry (2020). In this case, if i put a SRT file in the UHD version, it is not scanned. Here the related subject: Thanks

It's not a stupid question. But I can't help you there. You could read through this Emby Documentation Home | Emby Documentation There might also be something in here. Tutorials and Guides - Emby Community

Hi. Purchasing again isn't going to help you. Something has to be blocking the TV's access to our servers. Do you have the ability to sniff the network when the TV is giving this error?

Stupid question, how would I fix a permission issue?

I kinda found out what the problem is. If i use external player feature and chose mpv then everyting is working as expected. It seems like something is broken for external monitors with emby media player because those glasses are in fact external monitors over USB-C

It looks like permission issues, that you need to fix. 2026-02-26 05:00:24.638 Error App: Error in GetFileSystemEntries for /media/plexmedia/tv/Metalocalypse *** Error Report *** Version: 4.9.3.0 Command line: /usr/lib/emby-server/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /config -ffdetect /usr/bin/ffdetect-emby -ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg-emby -ffprobe /usr/bin/ffprobe-emby -restartexitcode 3 Operating system: Linux version 6.1.106-Unraid (root@Develop-612) (gcc (GCC) 12.2.0, GNU ld version 2.40-slack151) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Aug 21 23:36:07 PDT 2024 OS/Process: x64/x64 Framework: .NET 8.0.23 Runtime: usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/8.0.23/System.Private.CoreLib.dll Processor count: 16 Data path: /config Application path: /usr/lib/emby-server System.UnauthorizedAccessException: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/media/plexmedia/tv/Metalocalypse' is denied. ---> System.IO.IOException: Permission denied --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator`1.Init() at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerable`1..ctor(String directory, FindTransform transform, EnumerationOptions options, Boolean isNormalized) at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerableFactory.FileSystemInfos(String directory, String expression, EnumerationOptions options, Boolean isNormalized) at System.IO.DirectoryInfo.InternalEnumerateInfos(String path, String searchPattern, SearchTarget searchTarget, EnumerationOptions options) at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.EnumerateFileSystemInfos(DirectoryInfo dir, Boolean recursive) at Emby.Server.Implementations.IO.ManagedFileSystem.GetFileSystemEntries(String path, Boolean recursive, FileSystemCredentials credentials) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Providers.DirectoryService.GetFileSystemEntriesInternal(String path) at System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary`2.GetOrAdd(TKey key, Func`2 valueFactory) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Providers.DirectoryService.GetFileSystemEntries(String path, Boolean clearCache) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Providers.DirectoryService.GetFileSystemEntries(String path) at MediaBrowser.Controller.Resolvers.BaseItemResolver`1.GetFileSystemEntries(IDirectoryService directoryService, String path) Source: System.Private.CoreLib TargetSite: Void Init() InnerException: System.IO.IOException: Permission denied Source: TargetSite:

NA, Thanks. Seems like you have pinpointed it correctly. It would be nice to know the cause and fix, when it's resolved. === 'One by one' can be streamlined to potentionally one click to extract, convert and replace all 5000 media files and possibly a few sessions to transcode graphic subs to .srt. Repeating commands one at a time, is not required, once you set up a batch. I am not sure from your post, if you were already aware that was possible. ffmpeg or mkvtools can be scripted to extract all the subtitles, from every media file, all at once and replace the original media with copies that have no embedded subs. (Back all files up first.) - [ One click or Enter key for each directory tree. ] There is also a batch conversion option to change graphic subs to srt. Those could also all be done at once. Example software: https://subtitletools.com/convert-sub-idx-to-srt-online - [ Drag and drop all files to convert. ] An extra plus, after auto extracting and converting, is that the demand on your server will be improved.

This!

Hi all see logs attached, as the title says been running EMBY lifetime for about a week (ditched plex and super happy!) which has been working great for me and the kids... BUT for some reason for my wife weather she tries on the appleTV, her macbook air, tablet anything she watches has often often paused, crashes, freezes every 4-5 minutes I have no clue on how to go and debug this and any help would be greatly appreciated! (before she gets really pissed and forces me to go back to plex noooo thx! Z embyserver-2026-02-25-REDACTED.txt

If you are connecting to a friend's server... Give them your email address that you used to create your profile on Emby. They will need to add you as an user. Then login to Emby Connect when you login to the app, and you should see their server listed.

As the title says, my server is currently not pulling a new shows through, it was working fine yesterday but as of today I can get anything new to come through. Attached are screenshots and logs if that's helps embyserver.txt

thx! as instructed attached is the embyserver log (i took out the PUBLIC_IP and SERVER_ID parts) best regards Z embyserver.txt

@LukeThe full guide updates with the VPN on and the split tunnel set exclude data.tmsapi.com has been back and forth. For reference it is 7:35ET as of the start of this update so will use that for reference. The IPVanish VPN has been on for just over 24 consecutive hours. Thus we will go with just the last 24 hours of with yesterday's and today's log files. We will use Disney Jr SD as the example. This impacts all the channels but easier to focus on 1. 2026-02-25 08:02:48.814 Info LiveTvManager: Refreshing guide with 14 days of guide data (I'm not going to repeat this line for each of the below since they were all successful.) 2026-02-25 08:03:52.163 Info SqliteItemRepository: Saving 822 programs for channel 7164956 Disney Junior SD (worked fine). 2026-02-25 12:23:43.400 Info SqliteItemRepository: Saving 822 programs for channel 7164956 Disney Junior SD (worked fine). 2026-02-25 16:50:13.967 Info SqliteItemRepository: Saving 822 programs for channel 7164956 Disney Junior SD (worked fine).

I've not touched the VPN or the configuration and this shows that for some reason the guide passes through successfully and at times it fails. It will likely succeed later today but I will have to wait until EOD to review the log file again. embyserver-63907660800.txt embyserver (6).txt

Where do i find it at, thats all in asking

There's no way this is possible to do without violating Meta TOS.

Well, for example, all TV shows where the title contains "law & order." Tagging by genre, director, actor, etc. as well. It's November? Spotlight film noir. David Lynch died? Spotlight films he directed. Robert Redford died? Spotlight films he starred in. Release date, too. Films with the genre "film noir" released between 1940 and 1950, to filter out neo-noir. Films celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. There's so much metadata already on the server, it just feels silly that I have to manually curate lists elsewhere. I do love the Trakt integration for Trending and the like though. Can you clarify how I get an API key? You can already Spotlight a collection, but if I could use this to dynamically tag its contents I don't need to go reconfigure the Spotlight once I'm done spotlighting that collection and want to go back to tags.

I’m working on the next update that will include an ability to choose an existing collection as source, and then put tags on the items within. Also to include local media information as 4K, 1080p, Dolby Atmos, etc. On my to-do list is also the ability to add a poster for collection and description. That will probably be in another update.

@brothom Yeah, the usual expectation (from everyone who has raised this) is that "Shuffle" will automatically shuffle the whole selection and then play it, even if it is then limited to the first 300 from the whole shuffled list. It should be an intuitive one-step process, not the current two-step process. It's easy enough to work around the current limitation, once you know how, but likely most people wouldn't get far enough to figure it out. Hopefully we'll get a fix at some stage...???
